The Irish Data Protection Commissioner publicly stated that it does not issue decisions on GDPR complaints, with 99.93% of cases remaining without a decision. The DPC argued there is no obligation under the 2018 Act to produce a decision, despite GDPR allowing appeals when authorities fail to act. The remarks were made during a hearing before the Joint Committee on Justice of the Irish Parliament.
Why it matters: The DPC's interpretation raises concerns about compliance with GDPR enforcement obligations for EU data subjects.
